Going to his lawyers....sexton debacle...

right you are ... that one passed me by but he has the right name for a rugby fella

I hate diving tbh and I haven't seen today's yet.

So it's you who's put in the petition for the demolition of the boards down at the local swim baths is it ?!

 

[Super G Ted'inho]

You can dress it up how you like. It was still more of a penalty than many given either against us or in favour of our competitors.

Once the penalties given without contact are eliminated from the game, and the penalties for fouls outside the box are eliminated from the game, and the officials final decide to apply the same offside rule both inside and outside Manchester, then you can start worrying about penalties where there was actual contact but you aren't sure how much contact to a professional footballer's ankle is needed to put them off.

Sorry, I didn't realise the justification was "worse than others"

A foul is something that physically stops you doing something, not "contact"

I tend to petition to get rid of the baths thenselves.

Too many cars about and too many bloom'in kids ruining the peace and quiet

 

[Super G Ted'inho]

Anyone claiming it was a penalty should be embarrassed with themselves.

Yeah which is why I want all these **** forwards who boot the ball a mile away then dive into a defender to start getting yellows for fouls rather than free kicks from coward refs

Maybe when that happens I'll have some room in my heart for sympathy for a moron like Delaney who initiates an uncontrollable slide without thinking

Anyone claiming the penalty was the most questionable decision made by the ref didn't watch the game.

Agreed and said similar earlier.

 

[astro]

Who claimed that?

Maybe no one, just presenting the alternative view that why was the penalty decision necessarily more important than Adebayor being able to stud Sakho's entire leg, or the many other interpretations of fouls we saw today

 

[Sharpe*]

At the end of the day who gives a **** if it wasn't a penalty.

We have things go against us and this time if went for us.

We needed the 3 points and got it.

On to the next game...

Now if there was any red tinted glasses wearing mo fo that was going to argue against his CORRECT point it was going to be you...

Martinez has got to go hasn't he?

Very true, Moreno should have had at least 3 yellow cards

 

[Diego]

Your radio must have gone wonky at that point (bad picture), it wasn't Adebayor and is was a complete accident anyway

 

[FedLadSonOfAnfield]

Absolutely ... the 2007 Liverpool Senior Cup win still hasn't been bettered despite that being the modern benchmark for them

Wouldn't say it was a dive, but it was minimal contact and Benteke made the most of it

As would every player under the sun in the same position

 

[Diego]

As would every player under the sun in the same position

Yep, it's a no brainer

 

[FedLadSonOfAnfield]

Yep, it's a no brainer

It's simply the modern game, week in week out the same **** happens
